Suburban Dreams

Sometimes, I'm so interested in what's going on with people in their homes that I want to know what's in the closet or under the bed. In my photographs I aspire to tell the viewer not just about what can be seen, but also about things that are hidden and locked away.

For years American artist Beth Yarnelle Edwards has been making photographs in idyllic suburban middle-class settings in America and Europe. In her pictures she combines documentary interest and cinematographic staging.

Beth Yarnelle Edwards' works are in the collections of the MOCA and SFMOMA; the Museet for Fotokunst, Odense; and others.
